Wendy’s celebrates 50
It’s Wendy’s 50th birthday this year, and the chain is celebrating with a special, new Birthday Cake Frosty and a Birthday Cake Frosty Cookie Sundae. The Frostie is described as a regular Vanilla Frostie, flavoured like a classic Birthday Cake. The Sundae is a tub of Birthday Cake Frosty topped with Sugar Cookie Pieces and Sprinkles. The Birthday specials are available for a limited time, only.
Pizza Hut hands out Mini Cinnis
The Hut is offering a free order of Cinnabon Mini Rolls with any online order totalling $10. or more. Quite the promo code ‘FREECINNABON’ at checkout when ordering to claim the bonus. An order of Mini Cinnis consists of 10 mini Rolls. It’s a great deal! But, as with al good things, it’s available for a limited time only.
OREOs up to old tricks with new flavours
OREOs have become famous in recent years for blasting out new flavours and special product/movie collaboration ‘editions’ of the iconic Cookie. Now they’ve given us the head’s up on two more new flavours for 2020. Peppermint Bark OREOs are already on line for the Holidays and, thereafter, Chocolate Marshmallow and Caramel Coconut are definitely coming, but no dates have been announced for their débuts.
Popeye’s rolls out daring new Holiday dessert
The Bourbon Fudge Pie features a rich, smooth Bourbon Fudge ‘Cream Pie’-style filling, topped with Chocolate-flavoured Whipped Topping. We’ve also heard that Popeye’s has brought back its Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie for the holidays – at participating locations.
